Chain 5 (ch st) and work 1 slip stitch (sl st) into the first ch st to close the loop.

If you continue with the same colour, work 1 sl st to move under the next ch sts between tr groups..

If you change colours, break the yarn and pull it through the st. Place the yarn onto the WS along the edge and crochet over it on the next round. Insert the hook under the next ch st between tr groups, pulling the new colour onto the RS. Place the end of the new yarn along the edge as you did the previous colour and crochet over the ends on the next round.

Round 2: Ch2 (= 1st tr) + 1 tr + ch1 around the same chain, skip 2 trs and work 2 trs + ch2 + 2 trs + ch1 around the next chain (= into the corner), *skip 2 trs, work 2 trs + ch1 around the next chain, skip 2 trs, work 2 trs + ch2 + 2 trs + ch1 around the next chain (= next corner)*, repeat *-* 2 more times and close the loop with 1 sl st into the 2nd ch st from the beginning.

Finishing

Steam the squares lightly.

Join the squares following chart II to get a blanket 6 squares wide and 8 squares long.

Use the invisible seaming technique to join the pieces. Place the squares side by side and use the off-white yarn to sew them together stitch by stitch (see illustration).

Edge:

Row 1: Using the off-white yarn, work 1 dc into each st and 1 dc + ch2 + 1 dc into the corners. Close the round with 1 sl st into the 1st chain from the beginning.

Row 2: Ch2 (= 1st tr), work 1 tr into each st and 2 trs + ch2 + 2 trs into each corner. Close the round with 1 sl st into the 2nd chain from the beginning.
